Title: 5 speed swap
Post by: Bryan on August 29, 2018, 12:47:34 pm
Like everyone my auto kind of sucks. And the manuals are all gone, new and used. I was wondering about installing a manual out of a Jetta/GTI but use the bell housing from a German TDI. The bell housing are still available and the trans should be the same. But the bolt pattern to the block is the big one. Let me know what you think.

My understanding is that 4-5 cyl bell housings do not mate with the 6cyl.  The tdi manual transmission is a 5 cyl.  You can email info@dutchautoparts.com and Frans can make you up a manual transmission to mate with the vr6.  Last time I asked him about it, he was charging 3k euros.
